Title: Correction of rotation rate measurements
Inventor: ADRIÁN GUILLERMO LEDROZ
IPC: E21B47/022
Filed: 2017-10-09
Abstract: In order to provide accurate tool position in a wellbore, measured azimuth position can be adjusted by a bias factor applied to longitudinal axis rotation rate measurements. First method determines a bias factor by comparing a measured rotation rate about a third axis ωz (measured by a gyroscopic sensor 114) with a calculated rotation rate about the third axis ωz (determined from measurements of rotation rates about a first axis ωy and a second axis ωx from a pair of gyroscopic sensors or a dual gyroscopic sensor 112). A second, alternative method determines the bias factor by comparing a measured latitude (measured from rotation rates about first axis ωy, second axis ωx, and third axis ωz, in combination with measurements of the Earths gravitation vector from accelerometers 212, 214, 216 in the survey tool) with a value of the true latitude of the survey tool. The bias factor is then applied to a further measurement of the rotation rate of the third axis ωz.

Title: Traffic light operation
Inventor: CARLOS ALBERTO CABALLERO DE ITA
IPC: G08G1/0967
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: A method for controlling a plurality of vehicles 101a, 101b, 101c at an intersection 200 having a set of traffic lights 140, comprising: identifying the plurality of vehicles which are predicted to pass through the intersection 200; assigning an acceleration and start time to each of the vehicles, based on the actuation of the traffic lights 140, for example from green to red; and instructing actuation of one or more vehicle subsystems based on the acceleration and start time, upon actuation of the traffic light 140. The start time is the time after the actuation of the traffic lights 140 that the vehicle subsystems are actuated. This system may therefore enable more vehicles to pass through an intersection 200 whilst the traffic lights 140 are green, overcoming the problem of queued traffic at traffic lights only moving once the immediate vehicle in-front begins to move. The acceleration and start time may be assigned to maintain a set spacing 210 between the vehicles, or based on a predetermined route for each vehicle.

IPC: G07C9/00
Filed: 2017-11-16
Abstract: A remote locking method to secure a storage unit 105 that includes a housing, transceiver 155 and a lock 180. The invention allows a user device, such as smartphone preferably including a security token, to remotely lock or unlock the storage unit. A signal is received from the user device to cause the lock to be disposed in either of a locked or unlocked state. An amount of time is determined since the signal was received. The transceiver transmits a lock command to the lock when the amount of time matches a pre-set amount of time. The lock is placed into the locked state if the housing is in the closed state, the lock is in the unlocked state and the amount of time matches the pre-set amount of time. The lock is disallowed from entering the locked state if the housing is in the open state. The user device can include software that communicates with the storage unit to provide locking statuses and tamper alerts for the storage unit. The storage unit preferably includes a proximity sensor so the unit is unlocked when an authenticated user device is within a certain distance of the storage unit.
